April 19, 2011 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The new Chrysler 200 series
vehicles provide customers elegant, well-crafted mid-size vehicles
with an extraordinary level of standard content and an exhilarating
driving experience. From the ground up, the new 2011 Chrysler 200
sedan and convertible have been redesigned and upgraded to deliver
great American design and engineering, with a value proposition that
exceeds expectations.

Now, with the introduction of the S models, Chrysler expands the
lineup, offering customers production vehicles with a one-of-a-kind
style. The S models have the same DNA as the traditional models, but
with an entirely different appearance and attitude. While the
traditional Chrysler models make a style and luxury statement, the S
models create a different path through the Chrysler brand, taking
style in a whole new direction, with a completely different
attitude.

“The New York International Auto Show is the perfect place to debut
the new 2011 Chrysler 200 S sedan and Chrysler 200 S convertible
models,” said Olivier Francois, President and CEO, Chrysler Brand –
Chrysler Group LLC. “These vehicles are built with an unmistakable
attitude and a signature style; and you could say the same of New
York itself. The attitude may be ‘Imported from Detroit,’ but it's
definitely at home on Park Avenue.”

Chrysler 200 S Sedan

With an elegant style,
refined ride and handling characteristics, an exquisitely-crafted
interior, a new powertrain and an abundance of standard safety
features, the Chrysler 200 sedan is beautifully inspired and a
remarkable value. The Chrysler 200 provides drivers a little more
style and elegance in segment traditionally known for its “sea of
sameness.”

The new 2011 Chrysler 200 sedan S model brings a distinct style with
a little bit of attitude for the customer that wants to express
their individual style, at a price that makes sense.

The interior exclusive design features include a perforated leather
steering wheel; leather, heated front seats with Digital suede
inserts and an embroidered “S” on the front head rests; suede door
trim bolsters; a black headliner and a standard Boston Acoustic
sound system with a 276-watt CD/DVD/MP3/30 gigabyte hard drive media
center with Uconnect® voice command.

The new 2011 Chrysler 200 provides drivers an agile, confident,
handling performance in all driving situations, whether it’s
commuting to work, a weekend adventure on twisty roads or going out
with family and friends. Virtually every part of the suspension has
been re-engineered or redesigned for 2011, including 26 of 30
suspension bushings. The suspension geometry was completely
re-engineered. The track is an inch wider, tire width has been
increased from 215 to 225 mm and the Chrysler 200 has been lowered
12 mm in the front and 6 mm in the rear for a lower, wider, more
substantial stance.

Customers will drive
with confidence in the Chrysler 200 and experience less body roll,
reduced vehicle shake on uneven road surfaces, improved isolation on
rough roads, better steering precision, response and feel and
increased grip with new premium tires.

The 2011 Chrysler S sedan is powered by the new 3.6-liter Pentastar
V-6 engine which produces a best-in-class horsepower rating of 283
horsepower and 260 lb.-ft. of torque, but still achieves an
exceptional 29 miles per gallon EPA highway fuel economy rating The
3.6-liter Pentastar engine is mated to the 62TE six-speed automatic
transaxle.

Cabin quietness has been upgraded, resulting in one of the quietest
cabins in the segment, and allowing passengers to enjoy their
conversations, largely devoid of outside noise. Noise, vibration and
harshness (NVH) were reduced and 45 new sound deadening treatments
were added, including an acoustic glass windshield, laminated side
glass usually only found in higher priced vehicles and new sound
absorption materials throughout the vehicle.

An abundance of standard safety and security features in every 2011
Chrysler 200 model offer consumers peace of mind at a price they can
afford. The 200 sedan’s standard safety features include: standard
advanced multi-stage front passenger air bags, active head
restraints, electronic stability control (ESC), front seat side air
bags, side curtain air bags, four-wheel anti-lock brakes (ABS),
electronic traction control, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children
(LATCH) child seat anchor system and available Uconnect® voice
command. The 2011 Chrysler 200 is Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety “Top Safety Pick.”
